Ok one more silly questions. I know the CG will more than likely sell firewood, but I hate to pay a premium for something like this. What does everybody do? Do they buy firewood there? Do you never have a fire? Or do you bring your own? I was thinking of loading some wood to bring, but I can't find anybody selling any around me. Any suggestions on where to get wood, is it worth fining? I really want to have a nice fire to enjoy some smores with the kids.

If I think about it ahead of time, which I rarely do, I toss it in the RV before I leave. If I don't do that and then remember before I get to the CG (which is also rare) I'll pick some up in town at like $3 for a small bundle.What usually happens is I pay $7 for that $3 bundle at the campground.After pumping $$$$ into the 9 MPG beast, a four dollar surcharge doesn't phase me. :)

Most campgrounds would sell, or at least know where you could get some if they allow campfires. In our neck of the woods, everybody has a wood pile so purchasing firewood is not an issue.

you can keep an eye out for home construction and ask the contractor if you can have some leftover pieces of wood...(not the treated kind). and this time of year, you might find some fallen trees and branches after big wind storms. but if you use trees, you can't take it into other states' parks or the national parks.

Most states have restrictions on what you can and cannot do with firewood. Here is a link to the various states regulations. Quite often I have seen the state restrictions posted at camp grounds. Firewood restrictions

Because of pest infestations kost places discourage bring fire wood into a camp ground. Just look at how bad things like Tansy have spread because of horse people beinging contaminated hay with them to see what can happen.
